Dear Lighthouse Family Members:
Welcome, to the first edition of this newsletter. We thank you for your generous and kind support and dedication to the work of The Lighthouse. As many of you already know this is a very exciting year for the organization. Not only are we
celebrating 110 years of
service to the community,
but we have completed a 5
year Strategic Plan and
have embarked on a facilities
development effort.
Board members, staff, volunteers
and other agency
stakeholders are committed
to fortifying The Lighthouse
so that it has the capacity to
serve the community beyond
another 110 years. We are extremely grateful to our supporters and volunteers.
Your donations, in-kind services
and financial supports
have contributed to the fiscal
stabilization of the organization
and have allowed
us to offer quality
programs to the community
in education, recreation and
economic development.
Settlement Houses, such as
The Lighthouse were created
to offer programs that
respond to critical social,
cultural, economic and human
services needs of a
community. 110 years later
The Lighthouse maintains a
commitment and dedication
in providing the highest
quality programs possible
and are committed to working
in partnership with other
agencies in collectively addressing the wider needs of
the community.
It is the participation; contributions…
the people who
work and volunteer at The
Lighthouse that make a
reality of our commitment to
provide quality programs.
Without your tireless work
and that of those who have
dedicated themselves
throughout the 110 year
history, this organization
could not exist. Therefore
this milestone 110-year anniversary
is a testament to
everyone who, through The
Lighthouse has given back
to the community. Thank
you! and please continue to
join and support the work of
The Lighthouse into the
